Billet Alloy XJ6 front calipers
 
Thought I'd advise this for the benefit of those running Jag XJ6 front calipers.

Here is a supplier in the UK. of Alloy calipers as a bolt on option for those running the heavy cast iron Jaguar Calipers.

Kit 6: Billet aluminium vented front kit | cooper

Also Spiteri in Melbourne claim to be in the process of manufacturing a similar Caliper. However, There is rumour the Spiteri caliper will require larger diameter rotors.

Andrew Spiteri is the boss man if any want to have a chat with him regarding their version.

Rob, you are a lucky man.
The XJ6 calipers are cast iron and weight a massive 5.9KG. each. :eek:

Just halving that weight would have a significant effect on the front end motion ratio and unsprung weight.

Post me your address and I'll come over really late one night with a couple of spanners.;):LOL:
